| - Vietnamese / Thai / Pho restaurants are a dime a dozen in Toronto, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good this one actually is! While this part of St. Clair West is a rapidly developing area, it is still severely lacking in dining options. Saigon Bangkok is easily my favourite restaurant in the neighbourhood, and not just for a lack of options!
The menu is diverse, the food is delicious, and the service is always fast and courteous. Family owned and operated, Saigon Bangkok sometimes feels like you are having dinner in someone's else's dining room- complete with Family Channel programming on TV, potted plants and a fish tank. Perhaps it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I find it has a cozy charm.
Each time I go, I try to to order something different, which as a vegetarian, is a rare luxury! So far, I've ordered everything from the pad thai, to the pho, to a sizzling hot plate, and I have yet to be disappointed! My boyfriend swears by the beef vermicelli and I've recently gotten my room mate hooked on the stir fry! The food is always fresh and flavourful, with generous portions (especially for take out)!
On more than one occasion, I've been served by ten year old Karen, who is probably the most dynamic kid I've ever met, and actually a pretty good waitress! When she found out that I loved the guava candies they hand out with your bill, she sold me a bulk bag of them for $1.50!
If you're still not won over, the price alone is a selling feature, with most entrees costing less than $10! I don't know about you, but I'm broke as heck most of the time, so it's nice to know that I can still eat out once in a while without breaking the bank.
Don't get trapped by the cheap prices though! Debit is only available for orders over $15!
